Stop fast food, sugar, chemicals (additives, coloring, etc) and
caffeine. If you are truly caffeine addicted, you may need to wean
yourself gradually down to one cup of coffee or tea per day and then
switch to green tea.

You may use olive oil and lemon to
flavor food, and a modest amount of salt.

If you find that you are hungry,
add almonds, sesame seeds, walnuts, wild pacific salmon and organic eggs.

Try to use organic produce

Avoid dairy and wheat products as
well as any food that gives you symptoms

Drink 12 large glasses of purified
water every day

Exercise for at least an hour a day, working up a sweat if
possible (though taking care not to overheat) .

Clean out your
mind: avoid television, the internet and news reports.

At least an hour every day, try to
practice a relaxation technique, such as yoga, breathing exercises, or
meditation

Give yourself time for at least
eight hours of sleep a night.

This gentle detoxification program should leave you feeling
good. If
you feel weak, dizzy, or unwell, stop and consult your doctor.

I do not recommend fasting. Fasting puts stress on the body and
deprives the body of the nutrients your liver uses in
detoxification. While it may be a good idea in certain
circumstances, I believe that fasting should only be done with close
medical supervision after thoughtful consideration of the benefits and
risks.

Many supplements contain nutrients known to be important for the
liver’s detoxification reactions. Some of these supplements claim
to aid the body in detoxification. Very few of these claims have
been evaluated. However, even if we assume them to be true, I
urge caution. Detoxification is a finely tuned process. In
the liver, it occurs in two stages, both of which must be working well
to avoid harm. It is possible to do
harm by causing increased detoxification. The potential harm
occurs because initial steps in the detoxification pathway create
byproducts, some of which can be more toxic than the original
substance. Increasing the number of these intermediaries means
that these new toxins can create damage while awaiting processing in
the second phase of the detoxification system.

To address serious toxicity with herbs or other substances
that promote the bodyís release of toxins from fat stores, you should work with
a practitioner.

When you have a known detoxification pathway imbalance, such
as in Gilbertís syndrome or multiple chemical sensitivity, it is best to work
closely with a health care provider.

Never continue a program that leaves you feeling weak or ill.

Many of the people who have the greatest problems
with toxicity avoid this sort of program because they do not like vegetables. There is no getting
around the truth that you must eat these foods and in abundance to be healthy.
It may help you to get hypnosis or counseling. You can change your
tastes, and should change them so that the foods on this diet are appealing to
you. Turnip greens taste better than heart disease.
